Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter’s Hero Dream
324 Divine Tree Dao ⑤
Situational judgment is one of the most important abilities of hunters and is required of all parties, in addition to the bandits (seafarers) who are responsible for finding enemies and leading.
The situation changed dramatically on the battlefield. In particular, it is not uncommon for one person's delay in judgment to lead to total annihilation in a treasure hall beyond human knowledge.
Well, what I'm trying to say is that if you're a good hunter, you don't have the ability to have zero Hunter qualities.
When I was still a leader in the [Ghost of Mourning] adventure, incompetent people like me were able to lead the Hunters because their members were too good.
I was surprised that Lucia launched a sudden attack, but it was definitely correct if my sister, who was studying magic at the Imperial Capital's highest magic academy, had decided to do so.
Everyone moves appropriately if you give them a rash instruction. The problem was that if I proceeded in that way, I would not understand the situation at all.
And now, as a result of being swept away by the situation and doing it properly, I was staring at the mysterious spirit at close range.
A swollen, spherical body. The pale eyes on his head were staring at us.
I don't feel any harm in your eyes, but it's possible that my senses are paralyzed.
My companions were quite exhausted. Particularly, the members of the [Holy Thunder of the Stars] could not even stand up to the recoil of the previous onslaught. It was a situation that Lucia often found herself in when she was still a hunter.
Lucia and Anthem still seem to be able to move, but they are ready to kill their breath and get in between them at any moment, and they are looking at me and the mysterious creature.
I had no idea why I was in such a situation.
After all, what I did was I hit a flowing spirit attack, and I issued an attack order to the spirit that showed me the gap.
The spirits did not see any change after being attacked by two parties known in the Imperial Capital as the Holy Thunder of the Stars and the Ghost of Mourning . The body Liz slashed to rescue the spirit captive inside had already been restored.
I knew that spirits possessed some of the greatest powers in the world, but it was hard to believe that I could not even repel that attack and injure them. Even if we stare at each other like this, there's no sign of being attacked, so maybe it's just intact on the surface, but I don't have the skill to judge.
Well, in the meantime, I wonder if I can solve it by going somewhere with the spirits in front of me...... but what's the matter?
Eliza, who seems to be familiar with Citri and the spirits without graduation in everything, doesn't seem to be able to help me this time. Members of the [Holy Thunder of the Stars] who seemed to be able to rely on me at such a time were watching, but they were rigidifying their bodies and looking at me. One person's lips are slightly moving, but I have no idea what they are trying to say. Well, I told you what I was going to do, and even if I heard a voice, I wouldn't expect it.
If it's a human being, I'll try to talk to him. - No, wait. Cry Andrich, don't give up.
No matter how much you look at the presence in front of you, it seems like the monster itself is wasted just talking to you. He said Lapis was losing his will.
However, as long as Liz and the others hadn't fallen or escaped the onslaught in the first place, the options were limited. If I really had the ability to be worthy of Level 8, I would have been able to use my hand to get rid of it, but I couldn't help it because I didn't have the strength.
But you've been involved with some bad guys lately.
"...... I can't help it."
Lucia used to say that the negotiation with the Spirit is done with the heart and the heart.
I'm not sure, but the spirits have stopped attacking, and I'm sure that if we discuss this sincerely, we'll be able to do something about it. I don't think I can understand the words, so I made a gesture and hand gesture--
Once you're ready to take a deep breath, your arms open wide. When I opened my mouth, the spirits glowed strongly.
I opened my eyes, and I could hear a strange sound similar to the sound of a bell from nowhere, and the shape of the spirits changed from a sphere to imitate a human being.
I thought it was a new attack for a moment, but it didn't look like it. As I stiffened with my arms wide open, the spirits wobbled and lifted my arms.
What's going on...? And what is this sound--?
At that time, I was at the end of the chaos in a situation I didn't quite understand, and Lapis, who had been kneeling down until then and looking at the situation, squeezed out his voice.
”I-It's amazing to see how a spirit of this calibre can attempt a dialogue with a human from a spirit's side...”
"!!...... well, sometimes that's the case."
Oh, I see. This sound, the voice of the spirits! When I said that, I felt like I was hearing it from the spirits in front of me. It's confusing.
However, if we know that the other party is attempting to communicate by sound, it is ours. At this time, it is the turn of "Round World", the staff of a treasure with interpreter abilities.
I could use it to confirm Luke's intentions, and it wasn't useful for the high price, but I'm glad I had a lot of opportunities to use it this time.
I nodded to the spirits who often complained about something with the sound of the bell, and I waited in the corner and gestured to Nami Mikun. But you can call me anytime, and I won't come near you for now.
It was one of the features that came when I was called...... but I'm not playing with it right now.
After gesturing a few times, Tino notices my interaction with Mikun, and he goes to the vicinity of Mikun in a hurry and slaps him on the head. At last, Mikun started to move.
...... Maybe even if I didn't, Tino would really be better at handling treasure items - no, no. As expected, if I lose in that field, I'll be the only one who can beat Tino. I want to salvage my honor here.
Open the lid of the approaching Mikun and take out the "round world". This is where I come in. [M]
I turned my head towards the spirit and activated the treasure. A strange sound came to us with a sense of meaning.
--Okay, I begged you. Son of man. "
"...... Ah, yes"
...... Huh? Wait a minute?
The spirit nodded contentedly without paying attention to me, and turned toward Mikkun, who was left with the lid open.
"Now, before your consciousness is swallowed up again, you'll fall asleep in it. In this world these days...... Mana Materials are too strong"
The spirits disappeared inside Mikun. There's no time to stop it.
And silence came to the spot. At first glance, it doesn't seem to be the same as before the Spirit appeared...... Well, did I ask for something?
Apparently, I'm the spirit? It seems that she didn't realize that she couldn't use the product. Yes, it seems that what I was listening to as I nodded was in the back of my eyes. What do we do?
Lucia, who was watching me and the spirits interact in a breath, rushed over.
"Finally, brother, are you all right!? Negotiating with the spirits--"
...... Well, I wasn't trying to negotiate anything. Whatever it is, we have achieved the goal of driving the Spirit back. I'm really glad we're all safe.
Perhaps you've recovered a bit, but Lapis stood up and stretched his spine.
"Hmm... you've been drunk by force." The instruction to attack was to shrink the swollen force to bring it back to its senses...... I was certainly worried about the high concentration of magic power in the air, but it seems that Yggdra is in a somewhat complicated situation even if that class of spirits gathers enough power to run rampant. "
"Yes! Yes, that's right!"
The effect of "Round World" is only applicable to the user. Apparently, Lapis understood the Spirit's words well.
Fortunately, during the unhappiness, you would have asked me what I was asked to do. We'll see about that later. I almost didn't know what was going on and things were going on.
Breathing relievedly, Lapis looked down at his companions, who were still enthusiastic, and said in a serious voice.
"And it looks like you lost your bet earlier." If the Spirit's words are true now, this incident has nothing to do with this man. In addition, this man did not hesitate to accept requests from the Spirit. Needless to say, as a Spirit Man, this debt is too great. You know that, don't you? "
“That's why I told you it wasn't Yowanningen's fault!”
The members of the Holy Thunder of the Stars nodded in awe at the harsh gaze of Lapis and the stunned words of Krus.
It's always strong, so if you change your attitude, you won't feel comfortable.
In the first place, you didn't know what they were saying or accepting... you don't owe me anything, do you?
Reputational damage is a nuisance, but it is also a nuisance to be misunderstood. Tell Lapis in a hurry.
"It's okay, Lapis." I don't think I owe you anything for this. I just did what I wanted, and I don't have to worry about betting. That wasn't fair. "
I knew I had no choice, and that bet was too advantageous for me, given the fact that we were losing. If I had actually lost, I might have asked for it again, but it would have misled Citrix to be good at it.
I didn't decide whether to accept every request from the spirits this time. I accidentally said "ah... yes", but it should still be recovered.
The question is, when did you check with Lapis? I wish I had a good time.
When I was thinking about it with my eyebrows frowned, one of the [Holy Thunder of the Stars] stood up vigorously. When I stare at you, you still stand in front of me with a little wobble.
Eyes like jewels gleaming quietly as they pass through the nose. The female magician said in a low voice to me, who unexpectedly hardened herself under the unexpected pressure.
"I-I-I-I was wrong." Chimera . Let's apologize for all the rumors and suspicions you've caused. I want you to forgive me...... "
The full surrender was completely unexpected.
The female mage bowed her head deeply, and the other members bowed their heads along with it.
What would you think if I found out I didn't even remember their names? I mean... I rarely come to the clan house, so I don't get to deal with them.
Kurus looks at his head pitifully for some reason and tells me.
"Yowanningen, forgive me. Astor also apologized using a good salute. However, I just don't understand much about Yowanningen."
"No, of course not... but I'm sure I can't help but be suspicious in that situation, either."
In the first place, I don't need an apology...... but this salute wasn't Krus' peculiarity. I'm more surprised that way.
I don't know what to do, but a mage called Astor by Krus raises her head.
At the same time, the other members of the [Holy Thunder of the Stars] who were standing in the back swarmed here.
"You're a good guy, aren't you?" Apparently, you misunderstood. I thought it was a level 8, a human scale, but it seemed quite right. "
"Besides restoring spirits with powers close to the divine level, it would be a waste to keep them human to rescue their captive companions." That's exactly what Lucia appreciated. ”
"Moreover, you don't hesitate to respond to requests from spirits like that!" I'll make you my friend! "
The [Holy Thunder of the Stars] was talking to me in excitement. There was no shard of disdain in that expression.
Lucia's cheeks were pulled by the ample metamorphosis, and Kriss was grim as well.
Huh? Was the Spirit Man so friendly?
No, before that, what did that spirit ask me to do? I'm trying to say no, but it's hard to say no.
"Yes, mortal. Not for the price, but for the rudeness of my treasure!" Take care of it, it's yours! "
"No, no, I don't need it..."
An Astor tries to give herself a ring with a green jewel.
I had heard that spirits that were compatible with salt were sweet in humans, but they changed their attitude too much at once.
We can't accept treasures. It's getting harder and harder to say no. My fingers aren't free anymore.
Rejecting categorically, Astor looked like she had been hurt for a moment, but as soon as she came up with something, she took the knife out of her pocket and slipped it into her long hair without hesitation.
A bunch of hair falls like gold thread. Astor smiled confidently at me as she opened her eyes to an unexplained behavior and offered her hair.
"That's right, if you don't want the treasure, I'll split my hair a little!" Thank you for listening to the Spirit. Spirit Man's hair is a rare catalyst for sorcery. It's not what humans get, thank you! ”
Everyone was dumbfounded by the behavior. Especially Citri, with her hands around her mouth, was stunned and ecstatic.
This look on Citri's face was a look that flashed when unlikely luck dashed in. I envy that pace quite a bit in a situation like this.
".................. Ah, yes......"
I couldn't possibly not take it. Anyway, it's already been cut off.
If you do this, I won't be able to refuse the Spirit's request...... I'm going to throw up.
The bundle of hair is real golden, beautiful, slightly refreshing and mysterious. It was true that it would be a rare catalyst for sorcery.
But what am I supposed to do with this? And what did the Spirit really say to me!?
Kurus approached me in a hurry and asked in horror.
"Yowanningen...... let's do my hair, shall we?"
"...... in the meantime, will you let Astor and the others stop making strange salutations? It's confusing."
What are you fighting for... I don't need it! So, it's a lot heavier to be given your own hair!?
For the time being, I'll give it to Citri if she wants it.
However, this look of anticipation is very unsettling. It's not my intention that the spirits have returned to sanity, or that they've received a favor.
The fervent gaze of the members of Holy Thunder of the Stars was piercing their bodies. I'm just scared of the fact that I've done something that changes my attitude so much. (Excluding Luke) What kind of thing would a spirit ask if almost all of the [Ghost of Mourning] couldn't be defeated?
And so, a grumpy voice came from outside the [Holy Thunder of the Stars] group. Lizzie's voice.
"Krai-chan, you're doing exactly what Krai-chan told you to do, so just look at me!?" It's time to regain consciousness! "
